I have the composite Amish boards and I love them. They pull hard enough where the boat has to be in neutral to pull them in. I’ve never pulled more than 2 leadcore or copper at a time because I do all I can to avoid a tangle. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Let's say you just got all your rods out and you're marking some fish in your targeted depths. My question is how long do you guys leave things alone before you start changing things such as, colors, distance away from the ball etc. Also what do you change first and second and so on? I feel like I'm constantly second guessing myself. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
